Like Family - Growing Up in Other People's Houses, a Memoir (Paperback)

Hailed as a memoir of unexpected beauty and arresting power, Like Family tells the story of three young sisters who are abandoned by their mother and father and raised as wards of the Fresno County, California, court. McLain's unflinching recollection of being shuttled from foster home to foster home across 14 years manages not only to skirt self-pity but-astonishingly-to strike a universal chord, capturing the loneliness, uncertainty, and odd pleasures that are the very essence of adolescence.
